Batman said it best: "In many ways, Clark is the most human of us all. Then... he shoots fire from the skies and it is difficult not to think of him as a god. And how fortunate we all are that it does not occur to him."
It DOES occur to him, but he ignores that. Superman knows he could go Injustice at any time and probably not have many obstacles, but that’s not his character. Superman is a beacon not just because of his powers, but because of his character.
“I've got a different problem. I feel like I live in a world made of cardboard, always taking constant care not to break something, to break someone. Never allowing myself to lose control even for a moment, or someone could die. But you can take it, can't you, big man? What we have here is a rare opportunity for me to cut loose and show you just how powerful I really am." Think of it this way. Superman is an alien that’s just trying to have a normal life but having powers.
I notice a lot of people have a lack of interest in Superman because he's "boring", but it isn't really fair. It's as if people forget that he is "the Superhero". They had to start somewhere. He only seems OP because he's compared to characters that aren't on his level. You gotta think about his rogues gallery. Story lines like World's finest, Death of, and Darkseid actually are really good. If you don't care for Superman, at least respect him. Without him; the characters you think are "cool" would not be as we know them.
He's the reason why the word Superhero even existed, and the character paved the way for comics and every single superhero and manga characters in existence that's right Dragon ball Z fans Goku is a Asian knockoff on Superman, Superman is truly a legend so as his creators that pave way for Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and others
It deeply saddens me that so many people hate Superman. its obvious that most Superman haters don't even give his comics a try. But Superman has always been my favorite Superhero and always will be. I don't like him for his powers, I like him for what he stands for.
Cyrus Scarr I agree with you. To most, Superman just feels like an overpowered hero with really convenient powers. But if you read the comics you'll see that Superman has limits, more so psychologically that physically, and watching him go toe to toe with Doomsday, Batman and many many more is a truly inspiring experience. It's hard to make an overpowered character sympathetic as they can win in every situation thrown at them, but with Superman, it works.
Or Parasite or Mongul. Just something other than Lex or Zod. It's been done to death. At least Spider-Man movies don't always have Doctor Octopus and Green Goblin all the time. They add different villains like, Lizard, Vulture, Sandman, Electro, etc.
Some people don't like Superman because of he's overpowered? Well the reason I like him because he is extremely kind. He is the kind of person you want to be a friend of yours. Well technically, he considers himself a friend of everyone. Even to super villains! He would save anyone, good or bad. Although he was not my #1 favourite hero last year, the film Man of Steel changed my mind. It made his origins much more sense and Superman is so awesome in that movie. But of course he is not perfect. He would still kill if really needed.
Flash is my favorite out of the traditional capes and tights crew, but Superman is right behind him. Superman is a beacon of ever pouring goodness, the reason he is amazing is not because of the super-human alien Kryptonian abilities brought on by his biological parents, it is because of his very human capacity for goodness and compassion, brought on by his human parents.
Batman is my favorite hero but do I hate Superman ? No of course not I respect him a lot for what he does plus without him Batman or the other comic book heroes wouldn't exist Superman is the symbol of hope.
Marcus Moore batman is my favorite to but that's not only because I think he is the reason is because he doesn't have powers but also that doesn't let me hate on superman I even likes batman and supermans friendship more than there rivalry
Okay to all the people who are saying Superman is boring and overpowered, have you ever heard of guys like Doomsday? Braniac? Metallo? Darkseid? There are many characters who are on Superman's level and plenty of characters who are leagues above him and there are adversaries we will never hope to reach. Superman is a mid tier character, a all around, middle pack guy. He only has super breath, super speed, Heat Vision, telescopic vision, microscopic vision, genius intellect, and enhances sense and good durabilty. He only has 8 powers and hasn't gained any new ones for like 30 years, people need to stop thinking he's invincible or has every powers in existence. And Superman isn't just a boring dude that's a good guy with no character. In comics such as Action Comcs #775, the world believes they need more brutal like heroes and Superman has to show the world the right kind of way to be a hero. So no, he isn't just a Mary Sue that everyone loves, Superman has to prove his worth even to mere humans despite how powerful he is. And if heroic type chaarcters aren't your style, then you probably won't like him but that deosn't make him a bad character.
I think the hate spawns from comparisons, When superman is put alongside flash and aquaman, it makes him appear as if he is OP. He is in essence the 1st superhero, so ofcouse he will get a lot of the amazing powers, that doesn't mean he is a master of his abilities though. He has super speed, but isn't faster than the flash. Super Strength, but not stronger than Darksied. Genius intellect, but not smarter than batman. He is virtually normal on his home planet, so when you look at him gaining powers from our sun; anyone from that planet could have them with the exposure of it.
So you're really wrong... He also has frost breath, can see into people's souls, has been seen to shapeshift (it's a thing, look it up), as well as many others. And would a middle tier character be able to lift 200 quintillion tons like he did in all star superman?
Josh Zigmond Frost Breath isn't anything new. Seeing souls is just his x-Ravy Vision on an enhanced level. Him shape-shifting was Pre-Crisis when he was overpowered. That doesn't happen anymore. Yes, in DC, a middle tier character can lift 200 quintillion tons. Are you actually aware of how powerful DC is in general?
I will never understand these overpowered superman comments. Nobody has ever complained about thor, the hulk or captain marvel/shazam who have out of these world feats of strength every bit as incredible as whatever superman has done. The flash and green lantern may not be invulnerable or have superstrength like the man of steel but they too are mad powerful. The green lantern can create whatever he wants with his ring! The flash is so fast he can dust superman(who can travel at lightspeed) in a race and can travel through time and dimensions. How can you beat soemone that fast. I can think of a bunch more like Martian Manhunter, Silver Surfer, Doctor strange. Worst part is most of these guys dont even have a weakness like kryptonite. I dont understand how any comic book fan can claim he is too overpowered in the crazy world of comics when compared to most he seems right at home
Exton Jonas I think people pick on superman because he is ALOT better known than others. plus the fact most of the people who say that don't know anything about him. they just repeat what other people say.
Exton Jonas People don't complain about them because there not incosistent like Superman is the dude is the most incosistent character ever written in a comic book ever. The dude in his first ever appearance can barely lift up a car now he can hold black holes in his hand's really Hulk & Thor both earned there way up to level's of power Superman is DC face so they give him all these bogus power's that's why he is hated so much. He is allergic to Kryptonite we all know this but yet in Superman returns he get's thrown on a island made up of all kryptonite but instead of dying from it he surives yeah that is bullshit let Thor get hit by huge lighting from a divine source he dies why because only high devine forces of magic are his weakness even in his most powerful form but Superman get's bombed by kryptonite he surive's tell me how is anyone suppose to like him when he is always cheating death. The dude is the only op character of all time DC biggest flaw with there character's is they make them all like god's give them weakness & still they overcome them what's the point of having weakness if you survive them there a weakness for a reason but DC doesn't seem to understand that you have flaws when it comes to power & DC fans that are strictly fans of DC can't handle the fact Superman despite his popularity can lose fights & best of all die from other characters outside of DC like from Marvel hell they argue no 1 from DC can kill him.
I kinda expected a lot of Superman haters to be on this vid. Well I made an argument a while back and it goes well here. How is Superman overpowered when there are much more powerful DC characters? He's not even the strongest in DC. There are tons of DC and Marvel characters who can take him out.. Whenever a Superhero pulls off a feat of strength people praise them as cool and powerful, when does the same he is called OP and uninteresting. Being powerful doesn't mean you're not interesting. Its not the physical struggle that makes the story interesting, its the emotional struggle. Superman has many emotional struggles and is afraid of his own power. Superman desires a normal life but can never live one, he has to deal with being incredibly powerful and living up to everyone's expectations of him. Imagine the thought of killing your loved ones by hugging them too hard, or killing your friend because you can't control your heat vision, imagine risking destroying a city with an accidental flick of the wrist. Imagine living in a world of cardboard where you have to keep in check every day, hour, minute, and second just to avoid killing someone. Imagine a life where you risk the lives of everyone by just making a wrong move. That is the struggle of Superman. He doesn't want to be Superman, he wants to be Clark Kent. He struggles every day to fit in but he never can, he's an eternal outcast and the ultimate immigrant. He's often doubted himself and his morality, sometimes even considers killing his enemies when they anger him to a certain extent. Try killing a fly on a glass table with a sledgehammer without breaking the glass table. That's the struggle of Superman and that can be really interesting. Not to mention Superman has many enemies who are stronger than him who can give him a good beating. Darkseid and Brainiac have the privilege of also being psychological enemies. They are the ones who really push Supes over the edge. Superman haters obviously don't read comics much or know much about superheroes. You don't seem to understand that there's more to a hero than their powers. If you can't like a character for being powerful then that means you can't like 90% of heroes because most of them have superpowers. I really wish Superman haters would actually give him a try, I know some have but still, 99% of Superman haters have never read a single Superman comic in their lives. Superman has many great stories and if they actually bothered reading them then they might actually grow to like the character. Most Superman haters base all their opinions of him on their own ignorance and bias. Most of you only call him ''overpowered'' or ''boring'' because that's what you read about him on forums or youtube comments instead of actually doing research.
No offence but you literally used the cardboard argument that superman used in one of his animated movies im not the biggest fan of superman but i dont hate him at the same time there are actually different versions of superman that i like, like psyco superman in SM vs. the elite, SM from the tv show smallville both versions of superman from the flash point paradox movie pretty much any version of him where he goes crazy all that shit aside good argument not sure if you mentioned it (i scaned over your post read it without reading it ya know) heres another way we can tell that SM is not O.P. aquaman can kick his ass logically speaking its true supes is vulnerable to magic atlantians utilize magic and infuze their weapons with it and batman can kick his ass SM stated that batman is the most dangerous man on earth and even he fears him he was trained by an immortal ninja after all and has a contingensy plan for every jl member i hope this was as much for you to read as it was for me to type sorry for the typos and bad grammar kinda in a hurry SEA BISKIT AWAY together we shall drink the blood of our enemies and dance on their ashes
Superman is probably the most human of just about all heroes, you can say hes overpowered but hes the only overpowered super hero i know and hes the only odd one I dont think its a big deal. Superman like his nick name mortal God was given to him for particular reasons. You can easily relate to superman because (hopefully like most decent and compassionate people) Kal has the disciplinary behavior of self-restraint, literally when he fights hes always holding back just for the safety of others; he's always wanted to live a normal life, Standing up for whats right morally (like most heroes) and is thee original icon for justice. Superman doesn't put himself above any laws, any human or species or any beasts. He's just there to keep the peace and do whats right...hes like a jesus in a sense: keeping peace verbally and defending the defensless (and himself) with God-like strength. Not trying to bring religion in just making a comparison...even though jesus wouldnt fight but you get me.
Tyler Gutierrez ummm......no batman is an actual human superman is not he had his own planet and was a superhero when he was born batman was an acrual human
In the Novel "Last Days of Krypton" it was said that the "S shield" was actually a 'Serpent of Deceit' trapped forever inside an 'indestructible diamond'. Taking into account that deceit means the " practice of deceiving someone by concealing or misrepresenting the truth", Superman's shield (and by extension the EL family) stands for truth and not hope. Or at least that's what I gather from all that ^ ^
Why so many people hate Superman? There's other heroes who are Powerful like Thor , The Sentry and Hyperion but no one says anything about them at all.
They are Jealous because he is powerful. He can beat all their favourite characters. And when you are the best everyone hates you. Superman is a Symbol and i don't care whatever people say i love superman. But Batman is my favourite superhero.
basically they think "oh he's perfect and invincible. his comics must suck so I am not gonna bother reading em" now I am not gonna lie some of his stories suck (the same can be said for all comic book characters) but he also has some truly great ones like all star Superman, Superman last son, American alien, what ever happened to the man of tomorrow and so on.
All the rogues gallery villains You mentioned were the examples of bad guys that are huge and inhuman. I think Lex is the most done because he’s one of the few who doesn’t brawl it out with Superman, he creates puzzles and problems that Kal has to solve, and that’s always fun
I just searched “Superman’s Story” and found your video. Subbed!! Love you room you host your show in. Makes me want to be a comic geek even tho i was never anle to get comics as a kid as im a 2000’s baby and they weren’t popular for us as kids unfortunately but i love them as an adult!
Guys, PLEASE stop complaining about Superman being too overpowered because he isn't. There are a lot of superheroes and villains who are as powerful and more powerful than him. You have people like the Flash who can run so fast that it looks like Superman is standing still while Sups is running in light speed and also has an infinite mass punch that is as powerful as Superman's strongest punches. You have people like Green Lantern who can create anything by just thinking about him (anything means anything, even another Superman) Not only that, but these people don't have any weaknesses unlike Superman, who has kryptonite, red sun radiation, and magic to slow him down A LOT. So stop complaining about him being overpowered because you know nothing about both him amd every other hero/villain in comic books.
Justin Benitez Yet DC always makes him the top dog people complain because you can't go from struggling to lift up car's to holding black holes in your hand's that incosistent as ever.
+playstationsteve yes he is inconsistent but so are many other superheroes. It is usually based on the writer and their view of that superhero. World War Hulk is a great example of a ridiculously over powered, to the point of being utterly moronic, character. Superman is a fantastic character because he is the ideal of what is right and is the moral compass of the justice League.
Chris Hunter Hulk deserved that push more than any character seeing as how he is always passed over besides unlike Superman Hulk has the power to go to World War Hulk whenever he get's pissed enough Superman doesn't so that was the best thing to happen for Hulk Superman is the most moronic character in history he has all these stupid ass alternate versions who are each the most powerful in a way that is beyond inconsistent Hulk deserved the World War Hulk because it showed people he was a true threat to begin with. Superman is the most inconsistent character ever I can't even think of anyone else even from DC sense they like to make all there characters even the human 1's godlike.
03:28 Actually Superman wasn't the first superhero, he was the first costumed comic book hero. The first is The Clock, who although didn't posses any powers, yet he was the first to be named, "The First America Superhero." And before anyone starts bashing this comment, I recommend you Google the character first... Then tear this comment apart. Still, this show is awesome, keep up the good work.
Cool info Wish to add Kirk Alyn was an original 1st Superman appearance on the theatre screen. Actually caught some of these so many years ago. Fantastic, amazing how cool these were for their Time! Look it Up!
@VpY22 Actually in the original comics he couldn't do everything. He had super strength, invulnerability, and could jump really high. The super speed, flight, super breath, laser & X-ray beams didn't come until much later on. Superman is not unbeatable. He just needs a villain that can go toe to toe with him. General Zod, Brainiac, Doomsday, Darkseid, Parasite, Mongul, and Hank Henshaw (aka Cyborg Superman) just to name a few have pushed Superman to this limits and even beaten him before.
Let's go back to the origin of his costume... Martha Kent sewed his costume of the blankets he had been wrapped, swaddled, and cushioned in, on his trip from Krypton. She used young Clark' heat vision to 'cut' the fabric, and help to unravel the separate threads to sew it. On top of that, it (the cloth), could (and did) expand as he grew from Superboy to Superman. Look how many times he used it to expand the cape as either a tarp, a shade, or a shield to protect others. It helps immensely to have my dads and uncles comics and pulps from the mid 30s to the 50s, and my own from the late 50s to now.
Has there ever been a comic that explains Superman's skin color? Not a race thing, but in physics, chemistry, and biology, we learn plants are green because that's the color of object that absorbs the most blue and red light, which the sun has the most of, reflecting green. Superman's skin color should be red, as red skin obviously absorbs the least amount of red light. Then changing to a yellow sun means his powers grow stronger, if only a bit. Then a blue sun would make him more powerful than any other. Therefore, it follows that his skin should be red. Seeing as how Krypton's sun was dying, like a red sun, it could be explained that evolution on his planet didn't work as fast as the color change in his sun (probably not a main sequence star), explaining why a people powered by sunlight would have red skin while living under a red sun. Well, I guess one can argue that, SOMEHOW, the sun's rays penetrate straight through Superman's skin and his red blood cells are what absorb the light and transform it into excess energy that's more efficiently used than in plant life. I really like the idea of Superman, so I have to make sense of everything.
Akinwale segun You know, I've never seen our sun as red, ever. Not at sunset or otherwise. I've seen red skies around the sun at sunset, but no red sun.
He is and will forever be my favorite superhero. I get so much hate for praising Superman. But idc. I loved him since childhood. My earliest memories have Superman in them. He is my icon. He’s what I strive to be in life. I will forever be a Superman Stan. Thank you Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. I’m glad to say I moved from my small hometown city in New England to Ohio, where Cleveland is two hours away. The place Superman was created. Who woulda thought it? He will forever be my hero. Always.
and im also like it, batman could not see superman's secret identity just by looking at him and he is supposed to be the world's greatest detective, in comics a lot of people are logical, just because people have powers, itshould not warp minds into stupidity
In any comic where Batman knows Clark Kent AND Superman, at least that I've read, he knows Clark's identity. It's not hard, if you're looking. The problem is that it's not like people in general are actively looking around for who is Superman in disguise. Few people really expect Superman to have a secret identity, since everyone knows (or think they know) where Superman spends his off time, and not many people know who Clark Kent is, or what he looks like. He's just a name in front of a news story. Again, think about it. If you worked at some random place, and saw some guy who looked like a fat, clumsy, geeky version of Tom Cruise, with a higher pitched voice, who you had seen beside Tom Cruise on a previous occasion, would you think that that was Tom Cruise in disguise? In addition, at least Tom Cruise has an easily recognizable face. Chances are, most people in Metropolis have seen Superman on the news, but it's not like his face is super unique. Heck, some versions of Bruce Wayne look more Superman-like than Clark Kent.
Najee Fareed It mentions in the comics that Superman's disguise is a super power itself. It isn't as simple as putting on glass and dressing differently.
Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel actually were out of high school when they first made Superman up. It was the first summer after they graduated. The first hero version of Superman was i guy wearing black pants and no shirt, but it was never published.
How to fix Superman: Give him a badass costume: you should get rid of his boyscout persona (New 52 did that right) Make him less OP: No ice breath, put a limit on his strenght and dont make him 100% bulletproof Make more ways to defeat him: you have to have Kryptonite or be very strong to beat him. Make him vulnerable to things like fear toxin (like they did with Green Lantern in Justice League: Doom) Make him a better character in other media: Many people today think that they know a character by watching a movie about him. Give the movies some memorable villains and storylines! Thanks for reading people, here's your potato: (::)
Most comic book countries are fictional like latveria Doctor Dooms home land (marvel) kooey kooey kooey a sentient creature that doubles as an island (dc) and there are plenty of asian superheros ill name some. Thunderlord hes from taiwan Soltice (indian) Rama (indian) The main character from any anime like bleach, DBZ, yu yu hakusho, blue exorcist, and lastly guyver: the bioboosted armor
thank you now i feel better but now i want one that is a guy not sexist but i prefer guy like guys prefer superman than super woman lol she is sort of a racist character
thing is his powers are too boring i mean he has just about every power. it would be nice if he wasnt so op. i mean his weakness is a ultra rare crystal. come on.
the actual design is based off a concept design by JJ Abrams for his unproduced film Superman: Flyby, the entire new 52 reboot started up in September 2011 while principle photography for Man of Steel actually wound up starting up about a month earlier. it generally takes about a month to write and draw up a comic book, so more likely the MOS costume inspired the New 52 costume. Or maybe Jim Lee saw the same design Goyer and Snyder did and said "i'll do that but a little different."
I don't know, I could never get into Superman, he's kind of boring in my opinion, his suit, the fact that he can do everything and the fact that he wears glasses as Clark Kent and is never recognized as Superman. This is just one character I never cared for.
Well, the reason why you think that he is boring is because he is OP on EARTH. NOT OP in the entire Universe. Superman VS DOOMSDAY could possibly be the greatest comic book fight of all time No matter WHAT people say, Superman is the GREATEST Superhero of ALL TIME. Batman being second, and Spidey being Third
Jeffrey Grant I actually plan on it soon, I'm not a Superman fan but the trailers got me interested, I saw most of the earlier Superman films and couldn't get into them, and the last one that came out before MOS was so boring, was it in like 2007 or soemthing. Anyway I am gonna check out Man of Steel.
TheLittleMJPuppet that's all opinion man, My two favorites are Batman and Daredevil. Superman is pretty much the launchpad for super heroes and we wouldn't have them today without him.
***** I mean, the ONLY reason WHY Batman is more popular than Superman(Superman is WAAYY more well known than Batman) is because of his movies. Batman's movies have been TOP NOTCH, that's the ONLY reason why he is more popular than Superman. The majority of Supermans movies were all cheesy, and NOT taking it very serious. BUT MAN OF STEEL, is REALISTIC and SERIOUS. It is perhaps one of my TOP three superhero movies. MAN OF STEEL EASILY, beats Batman begins, and Batman the dark knight rises. The superman symbol is the SECOND most well known symbol in the WORLD, the first one being the Christian Cross
Arris, I have a question. Out of all the versions of Rogue in Marvel, which one is your favorite? The comics, 90's cartoon, movies, or videogames? I'd love to get your feedback.
Would you like to elaborate on that blatantly controversial statement? Just because someone is not dark and brooding does not mean that they are not interesting to read about.
Patrick Trujillo He sucks because he is extremely overpowered and basically nothing can beat him, yes I know he has his weaknesses but those are even overlooked sometimes like when he gets thrown into the sun and absorbs a crap load of radiation. I like a hero who while not being beaten all the time can actually be beaten. Superman just seems to brush away the kryptonite and defeat the villain.
Superman is the most bland character ever created.... seriously the ONLY time superman is ever interesting is when they have to create alternate dimensions where his personality is more than unrealistic benevolence and non-unlimited random bullshit powers. There's never a character ark or depth or even effort expended into beating his enemies he just eventually punches them hard enough for them to go away.
***** He's an overpowered mammas boy with no personality at all. Post traumatic = character trait, bully = character trait. Self righteous with no character ark AT ALL or development beating his enemies by punching them harder than he did 5 minutes earlier with no threat of danger. Worst superhero ever created. period
thank you finally finally some one who known their stuff about superman, especially his clark kent persona. geez no body gets its more than just glasses
Saw the entire Thy Kingdom Comes series at my local 2nd & Charles last night, and because of this video and your recommendation on another video Arris, I bought the entire set. REALLY enjoying it so far! Thank you so much for this video and your staple recommended reading lists!
Id say they usually focus on the lex luthor storylines because any monster type villains were too hard to bring to life or would cost too much to do effectively. However with cgi now common place im sure they will start to focus on those villains you mentioned.
SOMEHOW I actually have missed a Lot of the lore on both Superman and Batman and???? idk it's kinda funny I'm 24 and so clueless lmaooo great video btw!!
Why is there no episode about all the origins of Superman? Like, there's one where he's found by a motorist and dropped off at an orphanage, one where he lands in the desert and is already a full grown adult, and then of course there's the one where he's found by the Kents. I wonder if there are other origins we don't know about.
About Superman's origin, in the comics Krypton was orbiting a red sun and it was dying and whenever a sun becomes red, then it will swallow three swallow three planets and go supernova and that is how Krypton got destroyed. In the Man Of Steel Movie, Krypton was destroyed because the Kryptonians harvested their planet's core for artificial population control. And because of that, the planet became unstable and exploded.
All of you praising superman, how come you always talk about his powers when he is away from kryptonite? "He can do this, he can do that" Nope. I can probably jump higher than him when he is affected by kryptonite. How can you worship this boring cheese-boy, when Spider-Ham can MURDER him, if only his spider-suit has a pocket? Praise the God of DC
I would love if you could make a episode about DEADPOOL!! He is one of my favorite heros/criminals. I ve noticed that you mention Deadpool comics a lot these days and thats very cool... Keep up the very good and amazing work!!! -much love and suporte from a fellow comic fan
I want you to do an episode on The Darkness (jackie Estacado) from the Top Cow universe. No one has ever touched that many and seriously underrated characters and stories from top cow and that kinda gives me an itch i can't seem to scratch.
Batman said it best:
"In many ways, Clark is the most human of us all. Then... he shoots fire from the skies and it is difficult not to think of him as a god. And how fortunate we all are that it does not occur to him."
It DOES occur to him, but he ignores that. Superman knows he could go Injustice at any time and probably not have many obstacles, but that’s not his character. Superman is a beacon not just because of his powers, but because of his character.
“I've got a different problem. I feel like I live in a world made of cardboard, always taking constant care not to break something, to break someone. Never allowing myself to lose control even for a moment, or someone could die. But you can take it, can't you, big man? What we have here is a rare opportunity for me to cut loose and show you just how powerful I really am."
Think of it this way. Superman is an alien that’s just trying to have a normal life but having powers.
ikr if I was super man I would rule over all you pathetic humans and make you worship me or blow you up with my eye beams
I notice a lot of people have a lack of interest in Superman because he's "boring", but it isn't really fair. It's as if people forget that he is "the Superhero". They had to start somewhere. He only seems OP because he's compared to characters that aren't on his level. You gotta think about his rogues gallery. Story lines like World's finest, Death of, and Darkseid actually are really good. If you don't care for Superman, at least respect him. Without him; the characters you think are "cool" would not be as we know them.
He's the reason why the word Superhero even existed, and the character paved the way for comics and every single superhero and manga characters in existence that's right Dragon ball Z fans Goku is a Asian knockoff on Superman, Superman is truly a legend so as his creators that pave way for Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and others
It deeply saddens me that so many people hate Superman. its obvious that most Superman haters don't even give his comics a try.
But Superman has always been my favorite Superhero and always will be. I don't like him for his powers, I like him for what he stands for.
Cyrus Scarr I do hate him and I have read a lot of his Comics and I didn't like them.The only one I Liked was Speeding Bullets
Cyrus Scarr I agree with you. To most, Superman just feels like an overpowered hero with really convenient powers. But if you read the comics you'll see that Superman has limits, more so psychologically that physically, and watching him go toe to toe with Doomsday, Batman and many many more is a truly inspiring experience. It's hard to make an overpowered character sympathetic as they can win in every situation thrown at them, but with Superman, it works.
Cyrus Scarr i use to hate Superman but I now understand who Superman is
Cyrus Scarr he’s an idea that represents hope.
Cyrus Scarr I did not like him until I read superman grounded
The world needs a Superman movie with Braniac as the villian
YES!!! I would want the classic version though.
Diego Mendez They are working on the 2nd standalone Superman movie and a lot of speculation says that Brainiac will be the big bad. Fingers Crossed
Or Parasite or Mongul. Just something other than Lex or Zod. It's been done to death. At least Spider-Man movies don't always have Doctor Octopus and Green Goblin all the time. They add different villains like, Lizard, Vulture, Sandman, Electro, etc.
Played by James Marsters
And lobo as the sub villain of that movie
Some people don't like Superman because of he's overpowered? Well the reason I like him because he is extremely kind. He is the kind of person you want to be a friend of yours. Well technically, he considers himself a friend of everyone. Even to super villains! He would save anyone, good or bad. Although he was not my #1 favourite hero last year, the film Man of Steel changed my mind. It made his origins much more sense and Superman is so awesome in that movie. But of course he is not perfect. He would still kill if really needed.
goodnesswhy he’s my favourite superhero of all time
Flash is my favorite out of the traditional capes and tights crew, but Superman is right behind him. Superman is a beacon of ever pouring goodness, the reason he is amazing is not because of the super-human alien Kryptonian abilities brought on by his biological parents, it is because of his very human capacity for goodness and compassion, brought on by his human parents.
Flash isn’t as polished perfect as Superman thus why I like him a little more.
He killed a twelve year old kid in injustice
@@spooderman1119 Yeah but while Injustice is a nice story, their Superman isn't really in character

Batman is my favorite hero but do I hate Superman ? No of course not I respect him a lot for what he does plus without him Batman or the other comic book heroes wouldn't exist Superman is the symbol of hope.
In JLA the nail, it is stated that superman isn't just the big guns of the justice League, but also its moral compass
Marcz Le Marcz Exactly
Marcus Moore We need more people like you
Marcus Moore batman is my favorite to but that's not only because I think he is the reason is because he doesn't have powers but also that doesn't let me hate on superman I even likes batman and supermans friendship more than there rivalry
Marcus Moore mine is superman
No Matter what, Superman is the Greatest Superhero ever.
THAT'S HOW IT'S SAID!!
your opinion...I love Spiderman...no matter what :)
Deadpool is da best
No batman is the best superman is cheap
Superman was the one who got me into comics, he is and always will be my favorite superhero. Maya my favorite fictional character of all time.
Okay to all the people who are saying Superman is boring and overpowered, have you ever heard of guys like Doomsday? Braniac? Metallo? Darkseid?
There are many characters who are on Superman's level and plenty of characters who are leagues above him and there are adversaries we will never hope to reach. Superman is a mid tier character, a all around, middle pack guy.
He only has super breath, super speed, Heat Vision, telescopic vision, microscopic vision, genius intellect, and enhances sense and good durabilty.
He only has 8 powers and hasn't gained any new ones for like 30 years, people need to stop thinking he's invincible or has every powers in existence.
And Superman isn't just a boring dude that's a good guy with no character. In comics such as Action Comcs #775, the world believes they need more brutal like heroes and Superman has to show the world the right kind of way to be a hero.
So no, he isn't just a Mary Sue that everyone loves, Superman has to prove his worth even to mere humans despite how powerful he is.
And if heroic type chaarcters aren't your style, then you probably won't like him but that deosn't make him a bad character.
And also, Superman isn't even my favorite hero, I defend him a lot becasue Superman gets undeserved bashing when people can simply read his comcs.
I think the hate spawns from comparisons, When superman is put alongside flash and aquaman, it makes him appear as if he is OP. He is in essence the 1st superhero, so ofcouse he will get a lot of the amazing powers, that doesn't mean he is a master of his abilities though.
He has super speed, but isn't faster than the flash.
Super Strength, but not stronger than Darksied.
Genius intellect, but not smarter than batman.
He is virtually normal on his home planet, so when you look at him gaining powers from our sun; anyone from that planet could have them with the exposure of it.
I only hate that he gets his powers from the sun
So you're really wrong... He also has frost breath, can see into people's souls, has been seen to shapeshift (it's a thing, look it up), as well as many others. And would a middle tier character be able to lift 200 quintillion tons like he did in all star superman?
Josh Zigmond Frost Breath isn't anything new. Seeing souls is just his x-Ravy Vision on an enhanced level.
Him shape-shifting was Pre-Crisis when he was overpowered. That doesn't happen anymore.
Yes, in DC, a middle tier character can lift 200 quintillion tons.
Are you actually aware of how powerful DC is in general?
I will never understand these overpowered superman comments. Nobody has ever complained about thor, the hulk or captain marvel/shazam who have out of these world feats of strength every bit as incredible as whatever superman has done. The flash and green lantern may not be invulnerable or have superstrength like the man of steel but they too are mad powerful. The green lantern can create whatever he wants with his ring! The flash is so fast he can dust superman(who can travel at lightspeed) in a race and can travel through time and dimensions. How can you beat soemone that fast. I can think of a bunch more like Martian Manhunter, Silver Surfer, Doctor strange. Worst part is most of these guys dont even have a weakness like kryptonite. I dont understand how any comic book fan can claim he is too overpowered in the crazy world of comics when compared to most he seems right at home
Exton Jonas I think people pick on superman because he is ALOT better known than others. plus the fact most of the people who say that don't know anything about him. they just repeat what other people say.
Exton Jonas Dude Martian Manhunter is vulnerable to fire...
Jacob Holmes He is these days but rarely is consistently. He is very powerful, besides that i did not just mention manhunter, i listed alot of heroes.
Exton Jonas People don't complain about them because there not incosistent like Superman is the dude is the most incosistent character ever written in a comic book ever. The dude in his first ever appearance can barely lift up a car now he can hold black holes in his hand's really Hulk & Thor both earned there way up to level's of power Superman is DC face so they give him all these bogus power's that's why he is hated so much. He is allergic to Kryptonite we all know this but yet in Superman returns he get's thrown on a island made up of all kryptonite but instead of dying from it he surives yeah that is bullshit let Thor get hit by huge lighting from a divine source he dies why because only high devine forces of magic are his weakness even in his most powerful form but Superman get's bombed by kryptonite he surive's tell me how is anyone suppose to like him when he is always cheating death. The dude is the only op character of all time DC biggest flaw with there character's is they make them all like god's give them weakness & still they overcome them what's the point of having weakness if you survive them there a weakness for a reason but DC doesn't seem to understand that you have flaws when it comes to power & DC fans that are strictly fans of DC can't handle the fact Superman despite his popularity can lose fights & best of all die from other characters outside of DC like from Marvel hell they argue no 1 from DC can kill him.
Exton Jonas No one complains about Beyonder,Living Tribunal,Hyperion,Franklin Richards,Galactus etc. in the Marvel being OP
I kinda expected a lot of Superman haters to be on this vid. Well I made an argument a while back and it goes well here.
How is Superman overpowered when there are much more powerful DC characters? He's not even the strongest in DC. There are tons of DC and Marvel characters who can take him out..
Whenever a Superhero pulls off a feat of strength people praise them as cool and powerful, when does the same he is called OP and uninteresting.
Being powerful doesn't mean you're not interesting. Its not the physical struggle that makes the story interesting, its the emotional struggle. Superman has many emotional struggles and is afraid of his own power. Superman desires a normal life but can never live one, he has to deal with being incredibly powerful and living up to everyone's expectations of him.
Imagine the thought of killing your loved ones by hugging them too hard, or killing your friend because you can't control your heat vision, imagine risking destroying a city with an accidental flick of the wrist. Imagine living in a world of cardboard where you have to keep in check every day, hour, minute, and second just to avoid killing someone. Imagine a life where you risk the lives of everyone by just making a wrong move. That is the struggle of Superman. He doesn't want to be Superman, he wants to be Clark Kent. He struggles every day to fit in but he never can, he's an eternal outcast and the ultimate immigrant. He's often doubted himself and his morality, sometimes even considers killing his enemies when they anger him to a certain extent.
Try killing a fly on a glass table with a sledgehammer without breaking the glass table. That's the struggle of Superman and that can be really interesting.
Not to mention Superman has many enemies who are stronger than him who can give him a good beating. Darkseid and Brainiac have the privilege of also being psychological enemies. They are the ones who really push Supes over the edge.
Superman haters obviously don't read comics much or know much about superheroes. You don't seem to understand that there's more to a hero than their powers. If you can't like a character for being powerful then that means you can't like 90% of heroes because most of them have superpowers.
I really wish Superman haters would actually give him a try, I know some have but still, 99% of Superman haters have never read a single Superman comic in their lives. Superman has many great stories and if they actually bothered reading them then they might actually grow to like the character. Most Superman haters base all their opinions of him on their own ignorance and bias. Most of you only call him ''overpowered'' or ''boring'' because that's what you read about him on forums or youtube comments instead of actually doing research.
Cyrus, that was an amazingly put argument about superman. Bravo man!!!!! you fucking rule :)
Wow!! you nail it bro good work. :)
10/10 would read again
No offence but you literally used the cardboard argument that superman used in one of his animated movies im not the biggest fan of superman but i dont hate him at the same time there are actually different versions of superman that i like, like psyco superman in SM vs. the elite, SM from the tv show smallville both versions of superman from the flash point paradox movie pretty much any version of him where he goes crazy all that shit aside good argument not sure if you mentioned it (i scaned over your post read it without reading it ya know) heres another way we can tell that SM is not O.P. aquaman can kick his ass logically speaking its true supes is vulnerable to magic atlantians utilize magic and infuze their weapons with it and batman can kick his ass SM stated that batman is the most dangerous man on earth and even he fears him he was trained by an immortal ninja after all and has a contingensy plan for every jl member i hope this was as much for you to read as it was for me to type sorry for the typos and bad grammar kinda in a hurry SEA BISKIT AWAY together we shall drink the blood of our enemies and dance on their ashes
Wow
Superman is my favorit DC superhero!
Mine too.
Batman is gonna kick his ass in batman vs superman!
+God-Emperor of Mankind I hate people like you
Yoten batman flash and sups
Superman is probably the most human of just about all heroes, you can say hes overpowered but hes the only overpowered super hero i know and hes the only odd one I dont think its a big deal. Superman like his nick name mortal God was given to him for particular reasons. You can easily relate to superman because (hopefully like most decent and compassionate people) Kal has the disciplinary behavior of self-restraint, literally when he fights hes always holding back just for the safety of others; he's always wanted to live a normal life, Standing up for whats right morally (like most heroes) and is thee original icon for justice. Superman doesn't put himself above any laws, any human or species or any beasts. He's just there to keep the peace and do whats right...hes like a jesus in a sense: keeping peace verbally and defending the defensless (and himself) with God-like strength. Not trying to bring religion in just making a comparison...even though jesus wouldnt fight but you get me.
Tyler Gutierrez ummm......no batman is an actual human superman is not he had his own planet and was a superhero when he was born batman was an acrual human
Lili vidik Batman is cruel to a lot of people
Juan Sierra the reason I like Superman is bc he got me into comics
Juan Sierra you a Batman fanboy
Juan Sierra stfu
You make great video's dude, you deserve a lot more subscribers. Keep up the good work !
He’s got 2.4 million now ;)
love superman, he will always be my favorite character
Injustice Superman is my favorite version
Superman and goku 💪🏻
Me too
Who’s your favorite actor of Superman?
Superman is the greatest hero of all time :-)
Juan Sariles uhhhh no
Uhhh kinda
He is the most iconic
Batman still the best. 🦇🦇
Yes he iss
SO THAT'S WHAT DC STANDS FOR!! Thanks Arris!
I missed that part, what does it stand for ?
Detective Comics.
+LittleZbot "Detective Comics" Comics
In the Novel "Last Days of Krypton" it was said that the "S shield" was actually a 'Serpent of Deceit' trapped forever inside an 'indestructible diamond'. Taking into account that deceit means the " practice of deceiving someone by concealing or misrepresenting the truth", Superman's shield (and by extension the EL family) stands for truth and not hope. Or at least that's what I gather from all that ^ ^
5:11 that's why my favorite Superman is Christopher Reeve because he played both Clark Kent and Superman so well unlike the newer actors
Why so many people hate Superman? There's other heroes who are Powerful like Thor , The Sentry and Hyperion but no one says anything about them at all.
They are Jealous because he is powerful. He can beat all their favourite characters. And when you are the best everyone hates you. Superman is a Symbol and i don't care whatever people say i love superman. But Batman is my favourite superhero.
***** what?
they just don't understand the character because he's complicated.
He's practically invincible.
basically they think "oh he's perfect and invincible. his comics must suck so I am not gonna bother reading em" now I am not gonna lie some of his stories suck (the same can be said for all comic book characters) but he also has some truly great ones like all star Superman, Superman last son, American alien, what ever happened to the man of tomorrow and so on.
All the rogues gallery villains You mentioned were the examples of bad guys that are huge and inhuman. I think Lex is the most done because he’s one of the few who doesn’t brawl it out with Superman, he creates puzzles and problems that Kal has to solve, and that’s always fun
Jesus Christ, it's not underwear!
If its not under anything, it's not underwear.
Duh.
Overwear then?lmao
It’s overwhere.
Actually they’re tights
Nerd
Superman is my favorite superhero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
V 101 Mine too
I've read a lot of the recommendations and I can honestly say I'm a big fan of his (I can see why people like him so much).
I think it's safe to say that without Superman, we wouldn't have gotten any of these awesome super heroes/villains
Thanks, I've been trying to get into Superman for awhile now and was looking for all the essential story arcs to check out.
I personally recommend the death of superman, just got it and it's amazing!
I just searched “Superman’s Story” and found your video. Subbed!! Love you room you host your show in. Makes me want to be a comic geek even tho i was never anle to get comics as a kid as im a 2000’s baby and they weren’t popular for us as kids unfortunately but i love them as an adult!
Guys, PLEASE stop complaining about Superman being too overpowered because he isn't. There are a lot of superheroes and villains who are as powerful and more powerful than him. You have people like the Flash who can run so fast that it looks like Superman is standing still while Sups is running in light speed and also has an infinite mass punch that is as powerful as Superman's strongest punches. You have people like Green Lantern who can create anything by just thinking about him (anything means anything, even another Superman) Not only that, but these people don't have any weaknesses unlike Superman, who has kryptonite, red sun radiation, and magic to slow him down A LOT. So stop complaining about him being overpowered because you know nothing about both him amd every other hero/villain in comic books.
Justin Benitez Yet DC always makes him the top dog people complain because you can't go from struggling to lift up car's to holding black holes in your hand's that incosistent as ever.
+playstationsteve yes he is inconsistent but so are many other superheroes. It is usually based on the writer and their view of that superhero. World War Hulk is a great example of a ridiculously over powered, to the point of being utterly moronic, character. Superman is a fantastic character because he is the ideal of what is right and is the moral compass of the justice League.
Chris Hunter Hulk deserved that push more than any character seeing as how he is always passed over besides unlike Superman Hulk has the power to go to World War Hulk whenever he get's pissed enough Superman doesn't so that was the best thing to happen for Hulk Superman is the most moronic character in history he has all these stupid ass alternate versions who are each the most powerful in a way that is beyond inconsistent Hulk deserved the World War Hulk because it showed people he was a true threat to begin with. Superman is the most inconsistent character ever I can't even think of anyone else even from DC sense they like to make all there characters even the human 1's godlike.
Justin Benitez Marvel has more OP characteres
Calm down.. Only goku fanboys say that...
03:28 Actually Superman wasn't the first superhero, he was the first costumed comic book hero. The first is The Clock, who although didn't posses any powers, yet he was the first to be named, "The First America Superhero."
And before anyone starts bashing this comment, I recommend you Google the character first... Then tear this comment apart. Still, this show is awesome, keep up the good work.
"He works at daily planet and his parents are Jonathan and Martha Kent
Batman: WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME!! 😂
Superman and wolverine have a similar story and feel overpowered “loved by most hated by some”
History of Lobo would be awesome
"And I'm sitting on a stool!" caught me off guard and I'm still laughing. 😂
Let's be real everyone knows that superman is like the king of heroes
I love the way how you breakdown characters
But could you break down all types of Superman for example Superman Red/Superman Blue
You should do a Superman and Batman family video!
Cool info
Wish to add Kirk Alyn was an original 1st Superman appearance on the theatre screen. Actually caught some of these so many years ago. Fantastic, amazing how cool these were for their Time! Look it Up!
Personally I loved man of steel. I think I liked it more than any of the batman movies even.
I just got so much nostalgia from watching old variant. Love you guys, past and present.
I love the new design of Superman's costume! Though the red underwear I will miss....must be my age (38).
hey arris, just wanna let you know i love every every episode. Keep up the great work!
@VpY22 Actually in the original comics he couldn't do everything. He had super strength, invulnerability, and could jump really high. The super speed, flight, super breath, laser & X-ray beams didn't come until much later on. Superman is not unbeatable. He just needs a villain that can go toe to toe with him. General Zod, Brainiac, Doomsday, Darkseid, Parasite, Mongul, and Hank Henshaw (aka Cyborg Superman) just to name a few have pushed Superman to this limits and even beaten him before.
Let's go back to the origin of his costume...
Martha Kent sewed his costume of the blankets he had been wrapped, swaddled, and cushioned in, on his trip from Krypton. She used young Clark' heat vision to 'cut' the fabric, and help to unravel the separate threads to sew it.
On top of that, it (the cloth), could (and did) expand as he grew from Superboy to Superman.
Look how many times he used it to expand the cape as either a tarp, a shade, or a shield to protect others.
It helps immensely to have my dads and uncles comics and pulps from the mid 30s to the 50s, and my own from the late 50s to now.
Superman is my favorite dc superhero
Thanks for the info on the Man Of Steel. I needed that. Keep it up.
The history of Wonder Woman
Superman is my favorite superhero and I just got my first comic book on him! I'm super excited!
History of all the lantern crops
really, Crops? They're plants now??
corps
Marco Dane well they are green
not all of em
Very nice background and overview of Superman.
Has there ever been a comic that explains Superman's skin color? Not a race thing, but in physics, chemistry, and biology, we learn plants are green because that's the color of object that absorbs the most blue and red light, which the sun has the most of, reflecting green. Superman's skin color should be red, as red skin obviously absorbs the least amount of red light. Then changing to a yellow sun means his powers grow stronger, if only a bit. Then a blue sun would make him more powerful than any other. Therefore, it follows that his skin should be red.
Seeing as how Krypton's sun was dying, like a red sun, it could be explained that evolution on his planet didn't work as fast as the color change in his sun (probably not a main sequence star), explaining why a people powered by sunlight would have red skin while living under a red sun.
Well, I guess one can argue that, SOMEHOW, the sun's rays penetrate straight through Superman's skin and his red blood cells are what absorb the light and transform it into excess energy that's more efficiently used than in plant life.
I really like the idea of Superman, so I have to make sense of everything.
It's a superhero not science class, also krypton had a RED SUN and he only absorbs from a yelow sun.
I quit Google plus so does he lose in power at sunset when the sun is red?
Akinwale segun You know, I've never seen our sun as red, ever. Not at sunset or otherwise. I've seen red skies around the sun at sunset, but no red sun.
THIS WAS ON MY B-DAY!
FREDDY KRUEGER'S the absolute best.
Do the history of how Superman meets & becomes friends with Batman
The phantom is the first super hero ever
Used to be you were only considered a superhero if you had superpowers.
A history of Shazam would be SUPER awesome!
When you JUST realise he's in front of a green screen
No he's not that's an actual room
+Hazardous HE its a greenscreen. on an outro he showed bloopers and it was a green screen behind him
He is and will forever be my favorite superhero. I get so much hate for praising Superman. But idc. I loved him since childhood. My earliest memories have Superman in them. He is my icon. He’s what I strive to be in life. I will forever be a Superman Stan. Thank you Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. I’m glad to say I moved from my small hometown city in New England to Ohio, where Cleveland is two hours away. The place Superman was created. Who woulda thought it? He will forever be my hero. Always.
still stupid about the glasses even if he changes his stance, voice, demanor, and such, i will notice right away regardless
Sure you would since you're applying logic to an illogical universe.
Najee is like " Yeah, lets apply Logic and Common Sense in a Fictional Universe where a Person run so fast and go to other dimension "
and im also like it, batman could not see superman's secret identity just by looking at him and he is supposed to be the world's greatest detective, in comics a lot of people are logical, just because people have powers, itshould not warp minds into stupidity
In any comic where Batman knows Clark Kent AND Superman, at least that I've read, he knows Clark's identity. It's not hard, if you're looking. The problem is that it's not like people in general are actively looking around for who is Superman in disguise. Few people really expect Superman to have a secret identity, since everyone knows (or think they know) where Superman spends his off time, and not many people know who Clark Kent is, or what he looks like. He's just a name in front of a news story. Again, think about it. If you worked at some random place, and saw some guy who looked like a fat, clumsy, geeky version of Tom Cruise, with a higher pitched voice, who you had seen beside Tom Cruise on a previous occasion, would you think that that was Tom Cruise in disguise? In addition, at least Tom Cruise has an easily recognizable face. Chances are, most people in Metropolis have seen Superman on the news, but it's not like his face is super unique. Heck, some versions of Bruce Wayne look more Superman-like than Clark Kent.
Najee Fareed
It mentions in the comics that Superman's disguise is a super power itself. It isn't as simple as putting on glass and dressing differently.
batman is my favorite superhero but supermans segments on action comics will always be my favorite storyline
"superman sucks coz hes OP" yeah coz hes sooo OP when he has to fight alien god like beings like darksied brainiac and doomsday.
Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel actually were out of high school when they first made Superman up. It was the first summer after they graduated. The first hero version of Superman was i guy wearing black pants and no shirt, but it was never published.
Superman=Solar Panel?
Ik
Pretty much
How to fix Superman:
Give him a badass costume: you should get rid of his boyscout persona (New 52 did that right)
Make him less OP: No ice breath, put a limit on his strenght and dont make him 100% bulletproof
Make more ways to defeat him: you have to have Kryptonite or be very strong to beat him. Make him vulnerable to things like fear toxin (like they did with Green Lantern in Justice League: Doom)
Make him a better character in other media: Many people today think that they know a character by watching a movie about him. Give the movies some memorable villains and storylines!
Thanks for reading people, here's your potato: (::)
HE IS NOT OP!!!!!!
we need an asian superhero besides big hero 6 because san fransokyo is not a real place lol
Most comic book countries are fictional like latveria Doctor Dooms home land (marvel) kooey kooey kooey a sentient creature that doubles as an island (dc) and there are plenty of asian superheros ill name some.
Thunderlord hes from taiwan
Soltice (indian)
Rama (indian)
The main character from any anime like bleach, DBZ, yu yu hakusho, blue exorcist, and lastly guyver: the bioboosted armor
And not in the same universe
pretty sure Katana is asian
thank you now i feel better but now i want one that is a guy not sexist but i prefer guy like guys prefer superman than super woman lol she is sort of a racist character
John Yim thadeus cho (marvel) iron spider
I have a question. when superman suit rips how does he repair it? Can someone please reply.
superman is just too generic for me.
thing is his powers are too boring i mean he has just about every power. it would be nice if he wasnt so op. i mean his weakness is a ultra rare crystal. come on.
the actual design is based off a concept design by JJ Abrams for his unproduced film Superman: Flyby, the entire new 52 reboot started up in September 2011 while principle photography for Man of Steel actually wound up starting up about a month earlier. it generally takes about a month to write and draw up a comic book, so more likely the MOS costume inspired the New 52 costume. Or maybe Jim Lee saw the same design Goyer and Snyder did and said "i'll do that but a little different."
I don't know, I could never get into Superman, he's kind of boring in my opinion, his suit, the fact that he can do everything and the fact that he wears glasses as Clark Kent and is never recognized as Superman.
This is just one character I never cared for.
Well, the reason why you think that he is boring is because he is OP on EARTH. NOT OP in the entire Universe. Superman VS DOOMSDAY could possibly be the greatest comic book fight of all time
No matter WHAT people say, Superman is the GREATEST Superhero of ALL TIME. Batman being second, and Spidey being Third
Might I suggest watching the Man of Steel.
Jeffrey Grant I actually plan on it soon, I'm not a Superman fan but the trailers got me interested, I saw most of the earlier Superman films and couldn't get into them, and the last one that came out before MOS was so boring, was it in like 2007 or soemthing. Anyway I am gonna check out Man of Steel.
TheLittleMJPuppet that's all opinion man, My two favorites are Batman and Daredevil. Superman is pretty much the launchpad for super heroes and we wouldn't have them today without him.
***** I mean, the ONLY reason WHY Batman is more popular than Superman(Superman is WAAYY more well known than Batman) is because of his movies. Batman's movies have been TOP NOTCH, that's the ONLY reason why he is more popular than Superman. The majority of Supermans movies were all cheesy, and NOT taking it very serious. BUT MAN OF STEEL, is REALISTIC and SERIOUS. It is perhaps one of my TOP three superhero movies. MAN OF STEEL EASILY, beats Batman begins, and Batman the dark knight rises. The superman symbol is the SECOND most well known symbol in the WORLD, the first one being the Christian Cross
Arris, I have a question. Out of all the versions of Rogue in Marvel, which one is your favorite? The comics, 90's cartoon, movies, or videogames? I'd love to get your feedback.
Man of Steel was god-awful
MOS was dope, what people dont get is he killed Zod in Superman 2. Yes, he beat him 2 death & you gotta remember Zod is badder than Superman
Marco Dane Who gives a shit about whether he killed Zod or not? I just that it was a pretentious CGI fest.
so are ALL OF MARVEL MOVIES!!! except Captain America movies. They're more old school action packed
that was a lead up 2 why him & Batman fight in the next one
Thats not true superman does kill watch his review of the man of steel movie
super man for all seasons is another fantastic trade to pick up. the water color styling is just gorgeous!
super man sucks
Oh my god i found the one other guy who thinks so
You suck
Would you like to elaborate on that blatantly controversial statement?
Just because someone is not dark and brooding does not mean that they are not interesting to read about.
Blaise Murfitt I like vanilla ice cream...but I hate Super Man
Patrick Trujillo He sucks because he is extremely overpowered and basically nothing can beat him, yes I know he has his weaknesses but those are even overlooked sometimes like when he gets thrown into the sun and absorbs a crap load of radiation. I like a hero who while not being beaten all the time can actually be beaten. Superman just seems to brush away the kryptonite and defeat the villain.
I Liked That 1999 Jay Leno Tonight Show Joke "Superman is Dead, Have Anyone Seen Clark?" LOL, (smile)
Superman is the most bland character ever created.... seriously the ONLY time superman is ever interesting is when they have to create alternate dimensions where his personality is more than unrealistic benevolence and non-unlimited random bullshit powers. There's never a character ark or depth or even effort expended into beating his enemies he just eventually punches them hard enough for them to go away.
Obviously not i read books i watch superheroes
***** He's an overpowered mammas boy with no personality at all. Post traumatic = character trait, bully = character trait.
Self righteous with no character ark AT ALL or development beating his enemies by punching them harder than he did 5 minutes earlier with no threat of danger. Worst superhero ever created. period
Hi. Always been a big superman fan. Always hoped someone would make a movie, "Superman vs. Brainiac- battle for Kandor"
That would be so cool.
Man am I glad to have subbed to this channel
thank you finally finally some one who known their stuff about superman, especially his clark kent persona. geez no body gets its more than just glasses
Saw the entire Thy Kingdom Comes series at my local 2nd & Charles last night, and because of this video and your recommendation on another video Arris, I bought the entire set. REALLY enjoying it so far! Thank you so much for this video and your staple recommended reading lists!
Id say they usually focus on the lex luthor storylines because any monster type villains were too hard to bring to life or would cost too much to do effectively. However with cgi now common place im sure they will start to focus on those villains you mentioned.
Superman will forever be relevant
Can't wait to check out earth one.
SOMEHOW I actually have missed a Lot of the lore on both Superman and Batman and???? idk it's kinda funny I'm 24 and so clueless lmaooo

Why is there no episode about all the origins of Superman? Like, there's one where he's found by a motorist and dropped off at an orphanage, one where he lands in the desert and is already a full grown adult, and then of course there's the one where he's found by the Kents. I wonder if there are other origins we don't know about.
Thanks as always! Also love superman for all seasons

About Superman's origin, in the comics Krypton was orbiting a red sun and it was dying and whenever a sun becomes red, then it will swallow three swallow three planets and go supernova and that is how Krypton got destroyed. In the Man Of Steel Movie, Krypton was destroyed because the Kryptonians harvested their planet's core for artificial population control. And because of that, the planet became unstable and exploded.
New Favorite channel Im on a watching spree
All of you praising superman, how come you always talk about his powers when he is away from kryptonite? "He can do this, he can do that" Nope. I can probably jump higher than him when he is affected by kryptonite. How can you worship this boring cheese-boy, when Spider-Ham can MURDER him, if only his spider-suit has a pocket? Praise the God of DC
Please do a history of Nightwing!!!
I would love if you could make a episode about DEADPOOL!!
He is one of my favorite heros/criminals.
I ve noticed that you mention Deadpool comics a lot these days and thats very cool...
Keep up the very good and amazing work!!!
-much love and suporte from a fellow comic fan
I want you to do an episode on The Darkness (jackie Estacado) from the Top Cow universe. No one has ever touched that many and seriously underrated characters and stories from top cow and that kinda gives me an itch i can't seem to scratch.
Did you here that thief of thieves may be getting a tv shoe on amc? Can you do episode on who you think they should cast for them?
You should do an episode about grey Jedi. Maybe? Possibly? Hopefully? Just saying, they're like the the actual neutral point in Star Wars lore
Even though a lot of people hate Superman because he’s overpowered there’s so much more than that that go in depth on how it is to be the Man of Steel
Superman has blue eyes, but when he puts on the glasses to become Clark his eyes turn brown.
ARRIS YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!!! Whatta nerd!!!!! 😍
Awesome video, thanks!
